MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521134235 A) filed by Dr. Yogita Avinash Chavan, Chikhali, Maharashtra, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'thermal-electrical recycling system for refrigerators.'
Inventor(s) include Aryan Avinash Chavan.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a thermoelectric energy recovery system that converts waste heat into electrical energy using thermoelectric generators (TEGs). The system utilizes the temperature difference between a hot surface and a cold surface to generate direct current electricity based on the Seebeck effect. It uses waste heat from the rear radiator coils of a domestic refrigerator and cooling from the internal compartment are used to create a temperature gradient across the TEG modules. The generated electrical energy may be used for low-power auxiliary components such as indicator LEDs, sensors, or small fans and circuits. The invention is intended as a supplementary energy recovery system and not as a replacement for the primary power source. The system demonstrates an eco-friendly, solid-state method for recycling thermal energy that is otherwise wasted, with potential for future optimization and industrial application."
